Plus this weekend brings finales for The Good Wife, Supah Ninjas and Vikings.

News

We’re headed towards the May upfront presentations, when we finally settle which shows will be returning and which ones are cancelled. Hitfix’s Daniel Fienberg has assembled a look at every show that’s still on the bubble. It’s a forty-something part slide show so get comfortable before you start it up.

Would you like a chance to sit in the audience for the RuPaul’s Drag Race reunion? World of Wonder is holding a contest (travel isn’t included) to attend the taping.

The third season of Necessary Roughness is adding some familiar faces with Sam Page showing up as an agent who romances Dani while Teen Wolf’s Sinqua Walls will appear as a star basketball player.

Sam Page

If you’ve ever watched Scandal and struggled to figure out why an actor looked familiar, Vulture has a chart to help you figure it out — if you recognize them from Grey’s Anatomy, Everwood, Private Practice, The Good Wife or Gilmore Girls. Sadly, Scandal is the only world where you can see out actors Guillermo Diaz and Dan Bucatinsky on the same show.

The newest great TV mash-up Tumblr is Joffrey Bieber which photoshops Game of Thrones’ King Joffrey into Justin Bieber. It’s “Where fiction’s biggest brat and real life’s biggest brat become one!” and inspired.

“Clearly, Sam,Supernatural viewers can’t get enough of me.
The numbers don’t lie… especially when they’re talking about a hacker.”

The return of Charlie (Felicia Day) gave Supernatural a 25% jump from its last original episode. I think it’s time the CW green-lit a Supernatural spin-off about an adorkable, badass lesbian hunter. And, maybe, makeover montage scenes.

The Cartoon Network is happy about the debut ratings for Teen Titans Go! which was the top show in its time slot, drawing 2 million viewers.

Friday’s Listings

Anderson Live (syndicated) Check local listings
The band reunites as Kathy Griffin returns as guest-host (maybe she’ll announce that her CNN show with Anderson has been green lit?) to play a game of truth or dare.

The View (ABC) Check local listingsTim Gunn’s dusting himself off from last night’s Project Runway finale to be a guest-co-host on The View.

Days of Our Lives (NBC) Check local listingsWilSon’s back in action, though they’re working separately. Will (and Sami) are working to get in Stefano’s good graces. Meanwhile, Sonny’s questioning Adrienne for anything she might know about Nick.

The Women

Friday Night Spotlight (TCM) 8:00 PM ETCher wraps up a run of spotlighting women in film with movies about women taking charge. It starts with The Great Lie an 8PM, Kitty Foyle follows at 10PM and The Palm Beach Story airs at Midnight. Finally, it all wraps with the camp classic The Women..

Nikita (CW) 8:00 PM ET
There’s another aftermath to address thanks to Alex, who is feeling foolish, angry, guilt-ridden and devastated. More pressing, Michael and Nikita have to figure out how to put The Division back together before the President finds out how bad things are and decides to… well, do the things Alex wanted to avoid.

Happy Endings (ABC) 8:00 PM ET
The gang got bumped last week due to more pressing events so we’ve had a week to wait to see what it’s like when Max signs up for a gay pageant. We’ve spent the week wondering and imagining the possibilities, it’s finally time to see the “Mr. Gay Gay Chicago” competition.

Da Vinci’s Demons (Starz) 9:00 PM ET
There’s an outbreak of possessions at a convent (are they sure it’s not tarantism, they should see if performing a musical number helps) but its making the Medicis look bad so Leonardo’s looking for a solution.

Grimm (NBC) 9:00 PM ET
Since Nick also got bumped last week, he’s taking a second crack at the saving Portland from a lava wessen.

Al Madrigal: Why is the Rabbit Crying? (Comedy Central) 11:00 PM ET
Another Daily Show correspondent gets to show off his solo talent with a comedy special. Madrigal makes some interesting commentary about the intersection between race and American identity, I’m eager to see his new material.

Doctor Who (BBC America) 8:00 PM ET
You know how that trope where two characters who frequently clash find themselves trapped together in an enclosed space (usually an elevator) and being forced to spend time together makes them overcome their differences? What if the frenemies were Clara and the TARDIS while the TARDIS were also the elevator that trapped the frenemies together? We’re about to find out.

Supah Ninjas (Nick) 9:00 PM ETCousin Connor returns for the second season finale and turns the Ninjas against each other and make it possible for him to claim the flaming sword.

Orphan Black (BBC America) 9:00 PM ETPaul starts to go from thinking his girlfriend is acting strangely to actively investigating “Beth,” which just might end up revealing the truth of why “Beth” started acting oddly.

White House Correspondents’ Dinner (C-SPAN) 9:15 PM ET, (CNN) 9:00 PM ET, (MSNBC) 10:00 PM ET
The Beltway’s most ethically dubious night is here. While a performer like Stephen Cobert can raise a mirror to all the inherent problems, I’m not so sure about this year’s comedian Conan O’Brien. If you want even more coverage, tune in to CNN for Red Carpet arrivals. Really.

The Nerdist (BBC America) 10:00 PM ET
Hey Morgan! Did you hear that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is on this week’s Nerdist along with Gillian Jacobs. Paul Scheer and Rob Huebel provide the comedy.

Yeah, that would be my reaction to meeting Miss Piggy, too.

Sunday’s Listings

Good Luck Charlie (Disney) 7:30 PM ET
I don’t often have the time to watch Disney channel sitcoms. They’re fun but I’m still catching up on Game of Thrones (which does sound iroic) but the fourth season premiere sees Teddydream about an encounter with Fozzie, Kermit and Miss Piggy. There’s also an original Muppet song making its debut in the episode.

The Amazing Race (CBS) 8:00 PM ET
Okay, was anyone surprised when Max sadly mentioned that “Rush would be disappointed” in him? It’s a new shortcut to confirming every annoyed suspicion about someone. Tonight, the Race heads to Scotland where a double U-turn awaits.

The Simpsons (Fox) 8:00 PM ET
A cool, hip preacher arrives in town (voiced by Edward Norton) and he recruits Homer to become a church deacon. Like Homer’s many pursuits, he dives fully into this new path. At least for the next twenty minutes or so. Meanwhile, Marge’s wedding dress gets swapped with a Krusty costume. I have no idea where that plot is going unless it leads to a new side job for Marge. An amazing side job.

Once Upon a Time (ABC) 8:00 PM ET
Now that Regina’s willing to let Storybrooke be destroyed just so she can take Henry back to fairytale land, I hope the town realizes why it was a bad idea to act like jerks to a villain as she’s trying to reform.

Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited (BBC America) 8:00 PM ET
The reminiscing turns to Tom Baker, the fourth Doctor. Not only is his scarf an iconic part of Who history, Baker was the longest-serving Doctor. Even better, tonight’s flashback is “Pyramids of Mars,” which features one of Sarah Jane Smith’s (the late, great Elisabeth Sladen) original adventures.

Okay, what is with the dress Sarah Jane wears in every picture I’ve found?

The Good Wife (CBS) 9:00 PM ET
The fourth season ends on the election night when Alicia spends her time filing emergency court proceedings instead of making pained smiles at Clark County power players. Meanwhile, Cary’s rebellion gets a surprising supporter. With Martha Plimpton, Denis O’Hare, T.R. Knight and Dylan Baker returning, it could be anybody. (And that’s not it for finale guest stars, Ana Gasteyer and Estelle Parsons are on tonight’s cast, too.)

Nurse Jackie (Showtime) 9:00 PM ETJackie has the best possible reaction to a stressful custody mediation — she crashes into Kevin’s car, inspiring Kevin to think she’s using drugs again.

Revenge (ABC) 9:00 PM ET
There’s a hunt for FALC0N’s true identity, leaving viewers hoping that will end that blasted Initiative storyline that has made watching Revenge an exercise in exasperated sighing, instead of the delighted cackling that came with the epic takedowns Emily used to deliver. Unfortunately, it turns out that FALC0N is the parody account for the person they’re supposed to be chasing, someone too busy creating trouble to bother with l33t spellings.

That’s how I look whenever I start thinking about how greatRevenge used to be.

Game of Thrones (HBO) 9:00 PM ET
We’re at the midpoint of the season and… well, let’s hope Daenerys hasn’t used up all her badass moves by now and there’s something doubly amazing planned for the finale.

American Dad (Fox) 9:30 PM ETDeputy Director Bullock may be losing his mental sharpness, which means it’s time to put him through the agency’s retirement procedure. That seems like a very apt time for a Prisoner parody, or has American Dad already gone there? (It’s not the most Google-freindly searches.)

Vikings (History) 10:00 PM ET
For the season finale, Ragnar goes to deal with the troublesome Jarl, who has been bothering King Horik. Meanwhile, Lagertha has her own leadership trouble when a plague hits the village.

Mad Men (AMC) 10:00 PM ET
“Peggy plans for the future” which I suspect means imagining the day when all her work to get treated as seriously as her male counterparts leads to the “You’ve come a long way, baby” cigarette ads.

What Would Ryan Lochte Do? (E!) 10:00 PM ETMr. Lochte goes to Washington, but while we’ll all be hoping to see Ryan attempt a filibuster speech (that would make for such amah-zing TV), it looks like he’ll just be visiting monuments with his mother. That, by itself, should offer plenty of nominations for “great moments in professional idiocy.” Why doesn’t Disneyland dedicate some animatronics to that?

What will you be watching this weekend? Please share in the comments!
